    Yes, Citracal is a good product, but I could not swallow those big pills!

    I was trying Benefiber with Calcium because I cannot have dairy. It says it is

    Nadia, I have respiratory symptoms, always have...but I also have asthma, and whether that is directly related is a mystery. I got tired of the craziness with that doctor, and I might lose my health insurance, so knowing I can

    When you say "offer anything", do mean medications? No...he pretty much left it up to being scoped both ends to rule out cancer or any other problems. But they had never filed for pre-cert or authorization for my insurance, which the doctor's office has to do, not the patient, who has no codes, etc. His medical assistant left me a voicemail pretty much...

    The gastroenterologist said the blood tests are completely valid, and that I am not a celiac. I asked him again.

    When I strictly avoided all grains, I felt great. But according to the bloodwork, I am not a celiac. He tested me when I was gluten-free, and when I asked him, he said that doesn

    I just found out today that my celiac bloodwork all came back negative. The allergist appointment got cancelled, as the insurance company did not approve The appointment. When I called the insurance company to find out why, I found out they did not approve the scopes and biopsies for this coming week, so all of that is getting cancelled too. So I am...

    I am seeing a gastroenterologist because my doctor sent me to one. For me, there was confusion with all of the symptoms. But I am going to go and get wheat allergy ruled out, because if the scope and biopsies are inconclusive, then I will know whether it is allergy or not. The scopes and biopsies aren

    He said he will be looking for other things besides celiac and there could be other things such microcoliits or motility issues. I am having it done and I think a lot of docs do fluff up their work loads to make money, but I did interrogate him quite a bit. I have noticed a lot of docs have rude staffs. I can't spend time going to a lot of docs, nor will...

    I went back to the gastroenterologist. He has a terrible office staff. I was given an appointment and showed up and was told,

    My insurance wont cover enterolab... I am going down the allergy road first, and maybe they can reorder the bloodwork for celiac and have me eating gluten prior to having it...

    Thanks for the information, this has been very valuable to me!!

    This guy is getting ONE more chance from me, as his nurse would not take my questions on the phone, and she didn

    No offense, I am going to find out if all of this is true., because then this doctor has ordered tests on me without the full information. I am going to call them Monday. What you are tellling me and what the doctor is doing are contradictory.
  15. DPAZ
    Thanks for the link and the book! I will definitely check them out. It semes people have to just find this on their own.

    IF he was a good doctor, he would have told me that the bloodwork and the scopes arent going to show anything, if I am gluten-free!!! How is he a good doc? Now the blood work was a waste of time! I am calling his office up Monday and tellling him about this. I have not been 3 months with a gluten challenge! Now I am really upset. My insurance...

    I never had the Dermititis Herpetiformis either...

    Thanks for the input. But my family has a lot of food allergies. I have food allergies. That should put me at an even lower risk of having celiac disease. The doc may be open to diagnosing celiac disease, but he isn't open to allergies. I hit up one of the gastros on the floor one night about this and he said if you're not having an inflammation...

    How can you say only 1% of celiacs are diagnosed, when we don't know how many there are?
  20. DPAZ
    I thought oatmeal bothered me, so I will wait a day and introduce it... Did you have an endoscopy? How were you diagnosed as celiac?
  21. DPAZ
    No one in my family has died of celiac related causes. I am sorry you have experienced this. I have no medical history of celiac.
  22. DPAZ
    I hear what you are saying, but I feel I am going to die of fright from the endoscope. I work in medicine and I have seen them done. I don't breathe well flat on my back and I have a bad gag reflex. I gag when I brush my teeth. I don't want to die of a heart attack from that. I haven't slept in a week and I shake when I think about it... It doesn't make...

    I have a lot of allergies. I am allergic to dairy and shellfish, nickel, iodine, imaging contrast, trees, pollen, dust. My diarrhea and gut pain have increased, so I eliminated all grains from my diet, because grains are grasses. Everything, ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS, went away. The constant gut pain. The constant horrid diarrhea. The shaking. The...
